Damn straight....I had to make a tough choice when I got my SCREW, but I also won't own a truck without 4 doors

I really, really, really want a 5 speed in my SCREW, and was thinking of getting a F250 or F350 just to get one.

I just read the other day in one of the 4wheelin mags that Ford will soon get rid of the manual tranny in the Super Duty's as well. Hell will freeze over

well seeing as scews can with the 4.6L AND the 4.6L is the only V8 able to mate to the M5OD, isnt it feasible for someone to make a stick-shift screw?

the 5.4 will also mate to the M5OD but if you slap a supercharger on it it will kill it

A stock 5.4 can kill a M5OD, never mind a modded one. It's shaky enough with a 4.6.

A M5OD can mate with a 5.4L? I was told the bellhouse is different. Oh well. I would still love to see one

JMC has a M5OD behind his 5.4. I think he's blown it up about 5 times already. He needs a ZF........

He does have one and he has blown it but mainly because his 5.4 is supercharged

the 4.6 is a toilet so I didn't get a truck with a stick.....although my 5.4 doesn't really impress me. and driving a stick gets old.
